An experiment is conducted for which the sample space is S = (S₁,S2,S3,S4,S5}. Is the following probability assignment possible for this experiment? Outcomes S₁ $2 $3 S4 $5 1 1 1 1 1 3 6 8 10 15 Probabilities Is the probability assignment possible for this experiment? O A. No, because none of the rules for an acceptable probability assignment are satisfied. OB. No, because the sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes is not 1. OC. No, because the probabilities are given as fractions instead of decimals. O D.Yes, because both rules for an acceptable probability assignment are satisfied. OE. No, because not all of the probabilities are between 0 and 1, inclusive.
